Appeal Process

A staff member found guilty after a disciplinary hearing, has a right to appeal that decision. The appeal process works as follows:

For level 1 and 2 offences: there is an internal appeal process

For level 3 offences which result in dismissal, summary dismissal or suspension without pay: no internal appeal. The appeal process takes place at the CCMA. Please note that you only have 30 days from the date of your dismissal to file an appeal. Documentation can be downloaded from the Department of Labour website or collected at a local office.

Internal appeal process

The staff member has two working days, after receiving notification of the outcome of a disciplinary hearing, to appeal that decision.
